'Deadpool 2' Writers Are Open to a Hugh Jackman Cameo (But Not As Wolverine)

Hugh Jackman may have put away his retractable Wolverine claws away for good in Logan, but that doesn't mean he's completely finished with the Marvel Universe. The screenwriters of Deadpool 2 recently revealed they're down with the actor making a cameo...as Hugh Jackman?

"Oh my gosh, that's one we haven't heard. That's not a bad idea. I like that," Rhett Reese said when The Hollywood Reporter brought up Jackman appearing in the movie as himself rather than Wolverine. "Deadpool lives in a world where Hugh Jackman is out there. He's got the People's Sexiest Man Alive cover that he staples to his forehead in the first movie, so maybe he could meet Hugh as Hugh. That would be really funny."

The idea isn't too far-fetched, though. Ryan Reynolds was the first to put the idea in fans' minds. "I want Deadpool and Wolverine in a movie together. What we're gonna have to do is convince Hugh. If anything, I'm going to need to do what I can to get my internet friends back on board to help rally another cause down the line," the actor told Entertainment Weekly in December. "Hugh Jackman is one of the best human beings. Part of the reason I want to do a Deadpool/Wolverine movie is not just because I think the two would light the screen on fire but I genuinely love the guy."
